View Full Version : Strike-Through Closed Topic Titles

I made this hack basied off an idea of another forum I saw (non vB).

When a thread is closed, sometimes the normal thread closed folder icon isn't enough. This hack makes the titles of locked threads have a line through them, just to make it clear that they are locked.

I know it's kind of a simple hack, but hey, it's my first one! :)

Here's a screen shot of it in action:

How about instead of strike through,have a lill locked icon or [Closed] Text on it??????

Would that be able to be done.

clicked install.

But I wonder if something like this is possible:

Make an option in the bottom admin options to select wether you like to kust close the thread (incase you only wanna make a thread wich people read, and instead of an announcement) and an option were you can select the strikethrough.

* Funkie clicks install Ok that's easy too. If you've already installed it, find this in forumdisplay.php:

if (!$thread[open]) {
$thread[newoldhot]='lock'.$thread[newoldhot];
// Strike-Through Hack
$thread[title] = "<span class='locked'>$thread[title]</span>";
// End Strike-Through Hack
}

And change it to this:

if (!$thread[open]) {
$thread[newoldhot]='lock'.$thread[newoldhot];
// Strike-Through Hack
$thread[title] = "[CLOSED]thread[title]";
// End Strike-Through Hack
}


As for the option to turn it on or off, I might look into that.

Nice 1 fella:)
thanx.

That gives the words in the topic as [CLOSED]thread[title]
Is that right???

Thanx again for the quick reply

Nice hack, I've clicked installed!

Slightly off topic, I asked in the request section, would it be possible to create some user code to do this for text. For example...

<STRIKE>Harvey</STRIKE>

...would produce my name with a line through it. If anyone can help here as well, I'd appricate it.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for the hack.

Most of the tims admins hve to stick a thread and close it, you can see it even in this forum.

It does not look nice if a sticky thread posted by the admin was Striked-Through :D

any solutin for that

Thanks again :D

Thanks. That doesn't really require a hack, if you just go to your Admin CP and then look under Custom vB Codes you choose "Add".

Then just make the vB code tag , the vb code replacement <span style="TEXT-DECORATION: LINE-THROUGH;">{param}</span> and then save it, it'll work whenever someone type [strike]something.

Cool! Many thanks for this, I did try to make a custom code but failed totally!

Thank you!

Harvey. Ok, no wonder. It was my fault. Sorry.

Do the same thing, but for the vB code tage don't use the [ and the ]. Then it works!

I agree. I want to close some threads in the announcements forum so members won't spam them. However, I don't want it striked. maybe an option?

Great hack thanks! This is something my members complain about, they read a thread and only realise it's locked when they come to reply.

I noticed that when you close a thread in a private forum, it deletes the thread ...

Is there a fix for this?

Yes, would be perfect if the "Important"-Topics wouldn?t be striked-through.
